Patricia - A Walking Wonder

by Lobber

June 7th is a special day for those who walk on Earth. ~
 
For on that day, tots were born with joy, devoid of dearth.
 
But somewhere even luckier – not one, but a true pair,
 
To celebrate the joys of life, twins! - all smiles for the affair.
 
 
But by design, the pair was split,
 
Now just one - a she - at eighty-six.
 
Eight decades filled with ankle sprains,
 
But also blessed with gentle rains.
 
 
And there were times when ears would ache,
 
Not by mistake, just God’s give-and-take.
 
Nine decades soon! How to live? What to do? Where’s the door?
 
God‘s test, is quite simple. . . just live to ninety-two or more.
 
 
Your friend here, with just two decades of pain ~
 
This means, many more years for Joy to reign.
 
And on that day, a Birthday Wish that’s dear –
 
May my words of cheer, grow, shine and persevere!
